I observed, when on a balcony one pigeon has killed other pigeon. The first a beak has broken a head to the second both has torn apart to it a breast and has dumped the dead opponent from a balcony on the earth. Than so severe fight has been caused? Possibly struggle for territory for a nest on a balcony

I have never seen anything so terrible. I have seen Scrub Jays (the common Jay here) get into terrible fights and fall to the ground, but in the case I have seen they both lived. My father is sure that he sees Hummingbirds trying to kill one another. He thinks the stronger tries to fly the weaker into a wall or a window.

Yes, since watching them here, I have seen them get really vicious toward each other. It changes my view of pigeons. I always thought they were gentle & rather stupid. But now I see they are quite greedy & very competitive & aggressive toward each other.

I watched a pigeon-war this morning and was wondering that there is not blood to see on the wall again. It was always the same pigeon who fighted against the other ones - to the left, to the right and I don't know what more she did. From both sides they came - trying to get a bit food, but "no - its only for meeeee..."

this is not a kiss between them
look at the foot down in the middle of the pic
